Using Sewage Monitoring to Investigate Infectious Disease, Sponsored by US Arctic Research Commission (USARC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC).

Please join us for a free, virtual workshop featuring guest speakers and panelists from around the world. The two day workshop will cover: An overview of the current state of the science of Wastewater Epidemiology, how this technology is being used during the COVID-19 pandemic, testing goals and potential sampling approaches for Alaska’s unique and varied remote communities and ethical/privacy considerations when conducting these activities in small communities.

The workshop is open to the public, though aimed at health and water/sanitation professionals.
